Mobile Ad hoc Networks (MANETs) are collection of wireless mobile nodes. These types of networks are temporary and infrastructure less networks. MANETs don’t have a fixed static infrastructure. As MANETs work without fixed infrastructure nodes themselves, work as receiver, transmitter as well as router. Nodes in MANETs are also mobile so providing stable route is a huge challenge. There are several different approaches to find route in such networks and all approaches have some protocols. In this paper we will try to analyze two of the Mobile Ad Hoc Networking protocols, Optimized Link State Routing (OLSR) and Temporarily Ordered Routing Algorithm (TORA). OLSR uses proactive or table driven approach to route the data whereas TORA is a reactive protocol and uses on demand routing. The aim of this paper is to highlight different aspect of both protocols and compare them. So, one can decide which protocol is better suited to their needs.
